Buying airline points strategically can make a lot of sense, especially for first and business class redemptions, where redeeming points represents a disproportionately good deal. British Airways Club has just launched a bonus on purchased Avios, which some people might find to be worthwhile.
While the program frequently sold Avios at a discount back in the day, it’s pretty rare to see this nowadays. As a matter of fact, this is only the third such offer we’ve seen from the program so far this year.
Ultimately there are lots of great uses for Avios, it all depends on what you’re looking for, though. Avios can be useful for short haul awards on oneworld partner airlines, they can be useful for premium cabin travel on British Airways and Qatar Airways, and they can even be redeemed for travel in JetBlue Mint. There are lots of possibilities.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
